Heaven Amelie's Point of View

"Are you fine?" Ali is asking me that every five minutes. She is worried about me. I am not in the mood to talk so I just nod at her. I've been studying hard these few days. A lot of things is running through my mind and studying helps me in getting it out of my brain for a while.

I already told her everything about Deus revelations. She freaks out and so mad at my father. I am too actually.

"Do you want to go for some ice cream after class?" she clings her arms in mine. She is trying to change my foul mood. I shake my head. I really not in the mood today and yesterday and the before yesterday and maybe tomorrow.

"Okay, if you really want to be alone, I'll be fine with that but please eat on time and sleep on time. From the circles of your eyes, I can tell that you are depriving yourself from sleep. Also, enough reading lots of books. You are so advance girl. You already outsmart our professor, you nerd. Come on, you'll get through this. It's quite hard but you can manage. I believe in you."

The class started but I am not even paying attention. My mind is somewhere far away. It seems like I am not hearing things and I have my own world.

I am really bothered with my tragic truths. I never knew my father would be that bad and inconsiderate of me. I never saw him and I never knew his name. Ever since I was a kid, I already have a feeling that he never really wants me per say love me. I am aware of it all my life but confirming it, brought a different kind of pain and hatred.

I thinking a lot of how's and why's these days. I really don't want to but I can't help it. It's hard to take some sleep knowing that there's this part of you that is missing or unravel. Questions are piling up in my head but no one's there to answer me.

I lazily walked to Deus office. He is too busy so he asked a driver to get me from school and bring me here in his company. I didn't knock on his door and just enter. I saw him with a team and it looks like they are having a meeting or should I say argument.

He is shouting and his face is so red. An indication that he is indeed mad. He didn't notice me as I entered his office because he is so damn focus reading some papers. I quietly sit in the couch and place my bag on the coffee table near me.

 I look around and observe that his workers are trembling in fear. Some are already looking pale and is about to faint. They are so afraid of him. I look at Deus and it looks like he is ready to devour anyone in anger. His brows are knit together, there's a creased on his forehead and his lips is on a thin line.

"Damn, did you really listen to my instructions?" he is hardly flipping the pages of the presented report. Just the sound of his voice makes everyone question about their whole existence. He's so powerful.

"Yes sir" an employee answer with trembling voice. I can see how afraid she is but kudos to her for speaking.

"Then why the hell it turned out like this? This is bullshit!" he throws the report in the floor and I gasped.

That felt so bad. I see some of the employees crying. I feel really bad for them.

"Sorry sir" they don't know what to do. They are fidgeting and simply wiping their tears.

"Get out! YOU ARE ALL FIRED" Deus didn't even look at them. He is looking at his tons of paper works on his desk. That is kind of rude.

The employees can't hold their emotions anymore. They sobbed. I can see how they badly want to protest but they just don't have the courage to do so.

They slowly walk to the door with a slump shoulders and tears.

Maybe that's how I looked like when I was terminated in my job. That feels awful. They all left but I have this strong desire to go and offer them comfort so I unconsciously run after them.

"Excuse me" I call their attention and they turned in my direction. They are all confused to see me.

I step a little closer to them.

"I'm sorry about Deus." I pointed at the door of Deus’s office. " Don't worry I'll try to talk to him. I will do my best to ask him for second chance" They all looked at me stunned.

"Thank you very much"

"Thank you Maam"

"We appreciate it"

They are looking so hesitant to come close to me so I adjust for them. I take a step closer and give them all a tap on their shoulders and shake their hands.

"Congratulations for your accomplishment. Your reports was declined but I know it’s from hard work and so it deserves to be recognized. It might not be as fulfilling as it sounds because I am not your terror boss but please accept my recognition." I smile at them to cheer them up.

Some of them smile at me too and others are still on their distorted face. I can't blame them though. I get some bills from my pocket and hand it to them.

"Here, eat some ice cream or pizza. You need to celebrate every milestone. Good or bad, it happens for a reason Be positive and I hope you'll get a call later today saying you are not yet terminated and still part of the company." Their jaw dropped with what I did and they stood here like statues.
